Research on integrated control and supervision of engineering vehicles based on Agent

An Agent-based distributed network control system was proposed, aiming at the requirement of control and supervision for undertaking complex and mission-critical workload in engineering vehicles and construct machinery. The system architecture, component and functionality of Agent-based integrated intelligent control and supervision in the engineering vehicles were studied. The entire system cooperation and information collaboration were accomplished by adopting hierarchical network control system and multi Agent system (MAS), so that the motion control, task plan and collaboration, condition monitoring and maintenance, fault diagnosis and tolerance can be fulfilled. The entire system is characterized by cooperation and collaboration of each Agent. The proposed system architecture was fulfilled in heavy-duty construction machinery and engineering vehicles.
